- He had spent about four months in custody at Gradignan before continuing his term under electronic monitoring at his Bordeaux residence from April 2025.
- The November 2024 conviction—five years including two years to serve—followed a February 2023 crash caused under the influence of drugs that gravely injured three people, including a pregnant woman who lost her baby.
- Reporting from Bordeaux describes a low‑profile routine centered on medical follow‑up for long‑term addictions, with regular blood tests and treatments that have visibly affected his appearance.
- Under a three‑year probationary order, he must work, continue care, and compensate the victims, with local outlets noting he has been paying court‑ordered damages.
